Patent EP-0405093-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MUELLER LOUIS B
IPC: E06B9/58
Filed: 1990-05-02
Abstract: An apparatus configured for maintaining a barrier (16) in a position against a trans-barrier force less than a predetermined magnitude. The barrier has associated structures for cooperating with the apparatus to define the position in which the barrier is maintained. 
     The apparatus comprises a guide follower (74) attached to the barrier and operatively interactive with the associated structures for defining the barrier position. The guide follower (74) of the apparatus comprises a first portion attached to the barrier (72a) and a second portion (72b) operatively interactive with the associated structures. The first portion (72a) and the second portion (72b) are in an interfitting relation and define at least one pair of mating surfaces, each of which mating surfaces is transverse to the barrier and oriented to allow sliding disengagement of the first portion (22a) and the second portion (22b) in response to application of a trans-barrier force to the barrier in excess of a predetermined magnitude.

Abstract: A continuous multistage process for separating a partially water soluble organic component from a slurry containing an insoluble solid, a partially water soluble organic component and optionally water. In this process, the slurry (5) is continuously fed to a tower or column (1) equipped with a suitable vapor/liquid contact device (2). Energy (12) is applied at a point below the vapor/liquid contact device. Vapors containing the partially soluble organic component exit the tower or column overhead and the inorganic solid (11) is recovered at the bottom of the tower or column. This application of distillation technology to slurries is particularly advantageous in that a more efficient separation of that solid material from the partially soluble organic component is obtained. The improved separation efficiency can be utilized to either lower separation cost and/or to affect a more complete separation in order to obtain a solid material with a lower residual amount of the organic component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low voltage, high rupture-capacity fuse insert having a sleeve-shaped insulating body which holds essentially one fusing conductor and quenching means, whose ends, which are open on both sides, are covered by in each case one closing plate of insulating material, through which an outwardly emerging contact blade passes, each closing plate having allocated to it a handle bar, which is not live, of metal material. It is provided according to the invention that the respective handle bar is screwed to the insulating body and at the same time to the associated closing plate. This results in simple, secure attachment of the handle bar at a low construction and assembly cost, the maximum possible quenching space being maintained at the same time.

Abstract: A video synchronisation and frame pulse signal generator (10; 80; 90) generates a video synchronisation signal (36), such as a video black burst signal, and a video frame pulse signal (40) indicating the presence of a video signal frame. The generator (10; 80; 90) is self-contained and computer controllable and can be connected as a subsystem within an existing personal computer having an open architecture (e.g. as a plug-in interface board in a PC-AT (trade mark)). The video synchronisation signal (36) can be used as a master synchronisation signal source within a video signal processing system (e.g. an off-line video editing system). The video frame pulse signal (40) is synchronised to the video synchronisation signal (36) and can be selectively gated (22) under computer control to produce an interrupt signal useful as a stimulus for software interrupt routines of a computer within a video signal processing system. Computer controllable switches may be included for programmably selecting among additional video synchronisation and frame pulse signals (e.g. NTSC, PAL, SECAM or HDTV), which can be generated either internally or externally, the selected video synchronisation and frame pulse signals being used as the master synchronisation signal source and interrupt signal, respectively.

Abstract: An optical coupler/splitter having an optical waveguide (5) on the side of light incidence, two optical waveguides on the branched side (6b,7b), branched from the former optical waveguide and each having straight (6a,7a) and curved sections (6b,7b), and a dielectric multi-layer film filter (8) provided in a manner crossing the latter waveguides and common to them. The filter is so formed as to intersect with a straight section of one waveguide and with a curved section of the other, so that respective crossing angles (ϑ₁,ϑ₂) between the filter and the branched optical waveguides differ from each other, thereby providing different reflection or transmission characteristics with respect to the branched optical waveguides. An optical signal having a variable wavelength and issued from a measuring apparatus based on the backscattering method is distinguished by the common filter of the coupler/splitter, making it possible to perform measurement of the losses of the branched optical waveguides independently without being affected by interference light. There is no need to provide a plurality of filters having different characteristics, and thus the coupler/splitter has a simplified structure and excellent productivity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for programme control in television receivers. The invention is based on the fact that television signals which in each case comprise an identification signal designating a particular programme source (for example ARD, ZDF and so forth) are received at the receiving site of a television set. Such an identification signal can be contained, for example, in a colour television signal, particularly in a bi-phase code modulated data block in line 329 of a 625-line standard, or in teletext data which are transmitted jointly with a television signal. According to the invention, possible reflections of the television signal are also taken into consideration in addition to the received field strength during the programme storage, which reflections are detected by means of a comparison of a reference identification signal with the received identification signal. <IMAGE>
